About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

The four-years-in-the-making follow-up to Yes' comeback album, 90125, Big Generator was also a million-selling hit, although not as successful as its predecessor, probably because the singles "Love Will Find a Way" (number 30) and "Rhythm of Love" (number 40) couldn't match "Owner of a Lonely Heart" from the previous LP, even if they were favorites on AOR radio at the time. Actually, it was the title track that was a carbon copy of "Owner," so maybe that was the problem. More likely, though, "Owner" was a one-shot (courtesy of producer Trevor Horn), and as Yes asserted itself more here, the band reverted more to its old style, making for some confusion. Nevertheless, this album was Yes' last major hit. William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide

July 22, 2008: My bias for believing that this is the finest offering by Yes is that it was one of the albums that my father introduced to me back when I was a kid. Ever since hearing Rhythym of Love on cassette, I became hooked on the band. Now, as an adult, the band and the album remain pretty high up in the echelons of my collection. It holds as much nostalgic as listening pleasure, granted, but it's well constructed, bombastic, and, for a time, ranked up with some of the heaviest music young me had ever heard. It's still pretty intense, with bass thumping and guitar screaming over thunderous drums in the hard songs and some impressive sonic designs in the quieter moments. Rhythym of Love, the title track, Shoot High Aim Low, Almost Like Love - I was surprised that after all this time these songs can inspire and elate me on equal measure with the more contemporary bands and songs I've grown into with the years. Get it, by all means.

February 20, 2007: This album is a follow up to Yes' 1983 comeback album 90125, and it's great from start to finish. After Trevor Horn had joined Yes back in 1980 replacing Jon Anderson on vocals for the Drama album, and after the album and tour was completed, everyone thought that Yes had broken up, and Trevor Horn became a sucessful producer, and he remained with Yes as a producer of Yes, once again on their 1983 comeback album of 90125, but as for this album, he co-produces, because Trevor Rabin whom he replaced Steve Howe, also produces and arranges some of the songs on this album as well like on the songs like "Rhythm of Love" for example, which is one of the hit songs on the album. This album will be enjoyable for every Yes fan.
